WEBVTT UPCOMING EVENT CALLED HAMMER AND ALES WILL HELP GROW A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY. LET'S WELCOME BACK REECE AND CORY. THEY'RE HERE WITH SOME TIPS ON HELPING ALL OF US GET OUR FALL GARDENS GOING... FIRST OF ALL...PLEASE REMIND US ABOUT WHAT GARDENING FOR GOOD IS DOING TO HELP AREA COMMUNITY GARDENS. http: Gardening for Good, a program of Greenville Forward, wants to expand it efforts to support community gardens by creating a community tool library. Many of the community gardens do not have the funds to purchase large quantities of tools therefore; Gardening for Good seeks to create a tool library where community gardens, individuals, and non-profits can rent tools on a weekly or daily basis. It might seem a little crazy to talk of the fall garden already, while temperatures are still soaring high into the 90s on a regular basis. But I promise that it really is already time to get your ducks in a row for what can be the best gardening season of the year. Here's how to go about planning your fall garden: 1. Identify your average first frost date. South Carolina, our average first frost date is around October 25th, but I usually round that off to about November 1st. Your average first frost date will vary, whether you live in other parts of the Upstate or in another state entirely. 2. Decide which fall crops you would like to grow. This is the fun part. Here in the South, fall is our prime time for cool-weather brassicas-kale, broccoli, cabbage, collards, and more-along with a whole range of delicious root vegetables like rutabagas and turnips that just don't do as well or taste as good when grown in the summer heat. Growing a fall garden is a fresh start with veggies we haven't seen in their prime for months. If you're just getting started with fall gardening, here are some typical fall crops that are suitable for many areas of the country: beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cilantro, collards, daikon radishes, green onions, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, mustard greens, parsley, parsnips, radishes, their prime for months. If you're just getting started with fall gardening, here are some from your average first frost date to find out when to plant. Now that you've got your list of fall crops, it's time to figure because as we get deeper into fall, the number of hours of daylight decreases rapidly. This decrease slows the growth of your crops just as much, if not more, than decreasing temperatures, so it's important to take it into account.
